Re: Friday Facts #414 - Spoils of Agriculture

I am concerned about spoilage times restricting how you design your factory. Someone else said people will copy paste an optimized blueprint that minimizes time and I agree with that sentiment. The primary time component in a factory is transport time, which is largely transport length. This means ...

Re: Friday Facts #414 - Spoils of Agriculture

The Steam forums are confused about FF #414. They're primarily worried about knowing if the mechanic is fun to a new player. Is it? EDIT: I see that people here are worried as well. This is what I posted on Steam. I like the new spoilage idea. So many that play Factorio have an engineering backgroun...

How do YOU use mining drills?

I'm curious what tricks you're using. It seems to take a long time, but I do it so much and try to squeeze all I can out of it. factorio-coal-final.jpg My rule is 500 or more ore per electric miner. It's working out well. To setup this coal patch, first find the top, left, bottom and right edge wher...

I wanted to share these videos about Cheaters in multiplayer FPS games. It's cause of this community being technically gifted and felt it's worthy info for some. These videos, they'll ruin you if you play popular multiplayer FPS games. I'm serious. If you enjoy popular multiplayer FPS games and want...

Re: Friday Facts #392 - Parametrised blueprints

... Allow me to show you one extreme example to that theory. Could be the future, who knows. So nVidia, they wrote a paper for an AI that would beat Minecraft, but more than that. It wrote instructions to perform the tasks in the game that are required to beat Minecraft as fast a possible. It impro...

Re: Saving custom map presets?

Wanted to add there is a slightly buggy solution to save it in Steam Cloud. Using the new Steam overlay which allows you to save notes per game. You can even access those notes and edit them on the game page in your library. I say buggy as I use it too much and it's crashed the entire overlay for m...

Re: Saving custom map presets?

Thanks Qon. I'm checking it out right now. I love this game. To add a bit to what Qon said, you can also organize these into folders to keep them separate from your regular saves (although you'd need to use your OS's file manager to do that). And that'd be uploaded to the steam cloud as a sub-direct...

Space Video Game Trailer about Autonomous Robots

Felt it relevant to current day Factorio.

It's on my top video game trailer list, there's only 2 videos on that list, to get there I have to want to watch them over & over.

Saving custom map presets?

It's time for a new run in Factorio! Create new world. Choose one of the presets. Make the same change again for this type of run. Which settings did this type of run use again? Where are my notes? I'm curious why that's not automated?! https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?t=45083 It's been ask...

Push button for a circuit network

A push button for a circuit network. Not an original idea, but want to make sure it's shared properly. 1:38 is when the push button is first featured and demo'd. Conveniently placed inside of a tutorial on building advanced circuit networks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etxV4pqVRm8&t=54s In t...

Re: Friday Facts #392 - Parametrised blueprints

Add Blueprints as a downloadable mod. This somewhat makes them a mod. But more importantly cool creations should be shared and this is going to create some cool stuff. Also, speedrunners can use blueprints, but not mods. I would love to have a Blueprint portal in game. That would allow blueprint de...
